Disc manufacturers design discs for men. Rightly so, since disc golf appears to be a male-dominated sport. Just an observation.<br />
<br />
Since women are generally smaller, I feel that we should throw small diameter discs, with rims that are not too wide, and lower weights. We don't get as much arm speed, or spin on the discs, so we don't need those "overstable" discs as much. I started playing with my husbands old Valkyries and Leopards, and still use them today.

I also liked the Avenger SS. These drivers fly pretty straight, and don't just cut left into the ground like most of the others. I use a new 175g Champion Valk into a headwind. All my other drivers are under 160g, mostly DX plastic.<br />
<br />
I used to throw the Buzzz, but I think it has too large of a diameter for me to get enough spin, so I now use a Classic Roc for middle throws, and an XD for short shots and putts. The XD has a lower profile than an Aviar, and fits my hand best. If she likes the Buzzz it mig…tag:discgolfer.ning.com,2009-11-22:1809917:Comment:19761342009-11-22T02:53:31.161Z4U2NVhttp://discgolfer.ning.com/profile/LawrenceLarryLeonardiJR
If she likes the Buzzz it might be wise to get her a slightly lighter stalker and Z glide. Also if she can throw a thumber at all get her a 150 class flick.<br />
<br />
Also might want to try an Avenger SS or a Stratus

The X 150 Class Surge is the most forgiving driver I have. It starts out a hair over-stable then beats in to an awesome straight/anny/hyzer flip driver.<br />
<br />
The 150 Class Avenger is a great slightly over-stable driver that is controllable enough in that weight to make it a great disc for S shots as well. Another favorite very much like a slightly slower Valkyrie is the Slipstream GT (if you can find one). I throw it in a 164.<br />

It prob was once considered a long range driver (like old gazelles say ultra long range distance driver, or some crap like that) but now with much faster discs out there its been bumped down to mid range......I'd recomend 150 surges and avenger ss's they go for days with little effort

Okay, now I'm confused. I have a pink Discraft Glide that says "Long Range Driver", but when I searched online the Glide is coming up as a midrange driver. Perhaps mine is an old model?? I have no idea, but I love my disc regardless.

I totally understand. The first time I went discing I was having trouble until my boyfriend let me throw his Buzzz. Now I have a blue 165 Buzzz ESP that I use for many of my upshots. I bought the Glide because someone told me it's easy to throw anhyzers with (which I'm still working on), but I was really shocked by some of my drives the first day I used it. I definitely want to add a lighter one to my bag as well.

That is what I forgot to mention in my post was the R-Pro Boss. It is very light, has a lot of glide, and go be thrown a long way. I have to release it with extreme hyzer for it to fly correctly or it just dives right and never comes back. The plastic is weak, so I'd only use it in open courses, not during the winter with wooded courses.<br />

Star plastic is nice as it has a better grip in inclement weather relative to champion and it beats in a little faster. Star plastic doesn't typically have…

Star plastic is nice as it has a better grip in inclement weather relative to champion and it beats in a little faster. Star plastic doesn't typically have the same glide as DX or Pro. So if you're still looking for max distance, you'll want to consider these types of plastic.
